 Many of the lighter trades remained with the Federated Trades Council, the heavier trades mostly affiliated solely to the new organisation.A few groups remained affiliated to both Trades Councils; for example, Hobson remained President of the Federated, but also held membership of the Trades and Labour.The ILP disaffiliated from the Trades and Labour in 1910, after local ILP leader Alf Barton proposed to stand as a local election candidate without the sanction of the Trades Council.
